Best
known
as
Malayalam's
trendsetter,
Premam
recently
completed
6
years
of
its
massive
release.
On
its
release
on
May
29,
2015,
the
film
starring
Nivin
Pauly,
Anupama
Parameswaran,
Madonna
Sebastian
and
Sai
Pallavi
had
made
waves,
thanks
to
its
enthralling
storyline,
innovative
cinematography,
music
and
of
course
the
star-studded
cast
that
won
the
hearts
of
the
audience.
Well
recently,
Premam's
director
Alphonse
Puthren
made
headlines
with
his
social
media
interaction
with
netizens.
Apparently
on
June
4,
the
filmmaker
took
to
his
Facebook
handle
to
interact
with
them
as
he
wrote,
"Ask
me
anything
about
filmmaking.
If
I
know
it
I
will
try
to
reply.
If
I
don't
know
also
I'll
figure
out
a
way
to
reply.
Start..."
Though
many
quizzed
Alphonse
about
filmmaking,
a
few
social
media
users
didn't
miss
the
chance
as
they
cleared
their
doubts
and
queries
revolving
around
the
Nivin
Pauly-starrer.
When
a
netizen
asked
the
director
about
the
influence
of
Tamil
language
in
his
films
and
his
opinion
of
replacing
Malar
(Tamil
speaking
teacher
played
by
Sai
Pallavi)
with
a
Malayalam
speaking
character,
Alphonse
revealed
that
initially
the
character
was
framed
as
someone
from
Kerala's
Fort
Kochi.
He
also
added
that
he
wanted
actress
Asin
to
play
Malar's
role
in
Premam
opposite
Nivin.
He
wrote,
"In
the
beginning
when
I
wrote
the
script
it
was
Malayalam.
I
wanted
Asin
to
act
in
Malar's
Malayalam
version.
The
character
was
from
Fort
Kochi...
I
couldn't
contact
Asin
.
Nivin
also
tried
.
Then
I
gave
up
the
idea
and
wrote
it
in
Tamizh
.
This
is
in
the
beginning
stage
of
the
script.
I
studied
in
Ooty
when
I
was
too
young
and
then
did
my
film
studies
in
Chennai.
That
is
why
the
strong
Tamizh
connection."(sic)
Well,
with
his
big
revelation
going
viral
on
social
media,
fans
are
expressing
their
surprise
and
are
hoping
Asin
responds
to
the
same.
On
a
related
note,
post
the
super
success
of
Premam,
Alphonse
will
return
wearing
the
director's
cap
with
Paatu
starring
Fahadh
Faasil
and
Nayanthara
in
the
lead
roles.
